Ryan Giles assist this season at cardiff

So according to sharp we want 3 (including hedges) in before the deadline before anyone leaves 

Plus rothwell ,davenport and butterworth could leave so would require more signings

So looking at 5 signings and promoting garett to replace davenport

Lwb

Hedges

Striker/ wide forward 

 Busy 39 hours

I don't see how this even makes sense from Rothwell's pov, if he's decided he wants to leave he'd surely be in a much better position after the season when his contract is up? Is he that afraid of breaking a leg in the remaining 15 games?

This is why we have to sell.

He's not a man you want in the trenches for the final 3rd of the season.

Faked injury for 2 games 

 Imagine if he has a new club lined up on a free in the summer he will be having back spasms for the next 4 months

Glen9. Cheers –several good posts.

Some tosh on here- Rothwell didn’t refuse to play.

Whichever way I look at it, it’s shithousery on Rothwell behalf, letting everyone including his teammates and himself down when the club is in second place in the league and promotion a real prospect.

There you go –Rothwell (who according to many is average at best) is now the reason why we will not get promotion.

Plus a load of Neanderthal macho crap on here. Leave one on him. Jeeze.

If darragh downed tools I'd bea amazed . . Rothwell is a shithouse . Darragh in the past hasn't always been the best  but a shithouse he is anything but….

……Darragh down-tooled when we got relegated and Sheff United wanted him…..

And now loads coming out and saying he wasn’t good enough anyway, let’s get rid. LOL.

 

Mowbray said after the game it was joes choice

Can't remember darrah faking injury for 2 games.

Is this you average Joe??

Has he been good this season - yes

Has he been average for the previous 3 years - yes 

Is he replaceable - yes

Now he's refused to play should we sell - yes

Realistic targets if we sell him . And not for exact like for like  but who would strengthen our team 

Mcatee

Rogers 

Styles

Hamer

Demebele

Raid derby for bird , belik , sibley , knight

Nothing as fickle as the football fan.

On Monday it was "Best midfielder in the League, end of any promotion bid if we sell him".

Now he announces he wants to talk to other Clubs it's "Sell him, he's rubbish anyway, never rated him."

Just now, RevidgeBlue said:

So just to clarify then, going from TM's interview, it wasn't Rothwell who was feigning a non existent injury or refused to play today, it was the managers decision not to select him or even ask him to travel with the team because he was annoyed JR asked to be able to speak to other Clubs.

That's fair enough if the manager thinks he's not in the right frame of mind until the window has shut but if that's what's happened then any criticism about Rothwell's unavailability today should be directed towards the manager not the player.

Is this serious?? 

Or is this Joe rothwell ?

Yes the one that worries me is Lenihan - he's had a superb season, in a very similar position to Rothwell, and I can see a Prem club making a last minute bid. If someones willing to take a gamble on Rothwell the same for Lenihan looks very very possible.

If darragh downed tools I'd bea amazed . . Rothwell is a shithouse . Darragh in the past hasn't always been the best  but a shithouse he is anything but

What’s more cowardly is he’s not requesting a transfer. He’s asked to speak to other clubs. The difference being if he requests a transfer he loses the right to his contact and bonuses being paid up. So whatever figure he’s sold for - remember we still need to pay him his contract. Unless he submits a formal transfer request. 

BTW - same agent that’s instigating all of this represents Travis. 

Rothwell,  his agent . Whoever is a scumbag. Years of struggle and decline . Gave  him a chance in this league. Stick by him when he was shit and at best inconsistent. 

Mismanaged maybe. But grasp the chance when you get it . He never did that until this season 

Now to do this with what 52 hrs left of the window when we have half a team out and battling to go up  2 weeks after saying how much he loves it . I'm sorry but f@ck off . 

And if its the prem I hope he come up against us next year and one of our men not boys /cowards leave one on him

How much would callum styles cost.

Good player

Versatile 

Good age

Low wage

Ticks a lot of boxes

Devenport has a lot of interest in him… Wycombe & Aberdeen just a few who want him …… 

Are you expecting a busy 3 days for us and outs ?

Any chance of Morgan Rogers

Don't worry about it,  I've not seen any mention of it anywhere so presumably it's not gone any further.

You'd certainly know what I was referring to if anything further came of it.

So just say who it is ? 

And if it comes off you have a scoop.

Fair enough if that's always been your view on him. Not just you but it's coming across as though people are taking it as personally as if they'd been binned off by their girlfriend/boyfriend. You have to remember it's a job for these players, they're not Rovers fans like us.

I'm only interested in it from the Club's point of view and unless an offer of around £10m has come in from a PL Club I don't think we have to do anything at all.

And even if that were the case I doubt we could adequately replace him in time.

 

I get that. And understand he's not one of us. 

But to do it now with 3 days left of the window is a c@nts trick.

Don't get me wrong he has been good this season and it does hurt the fact he's doing this now when we are in the best position we've been in 10 years .

Even if we get 4 million tomorrow who do we get in who can hit the ground running.

Also fully understand he's been messed around with positions and games the last few years but only last week 'he loves it and is playing the best football of his career ' and now he wants out and by the looks of it been pretending to be injured

Here we go , why is the reaction whenever a player is linked with a move away, "he's shit, never liked him anyway".

Same thing happened with Nyambe a couple of weeks ago when someone posted on FB that Nyambe had been saying his goodbyes at Brockhall.

Go back and read my comments on him on the past .

He's your typical match of the day player

In a few months if / when dack fully fit he'd be in the bench half of the time

25 good games max  in 4 years .  Doesn't score or create enough

So much for loving his football at the minute 

Adios . Dont let the door hit you on the way out.

We will pass you on your way back down

If true Let him go if he's going to down tools .

No point keeping him and creating issues in dressing room .

Think we could do alot worse than throw a few £ at Derby if we can find some .

they need the cash before the end of the month and have quite a few talented young players 

Bielik is on his way back from injury. Could maybe snap him up on the cheap. Was a big money buy but had a few bad injuries. Could be a bargain if he overcomes them

Ebosele

Knight

Sibley

Bird 

All have championship experience and are all  worth far more than we could pick them up for

Liam Moore leaving Reading...could be a decent back up

Quality defender at this level. Wages may be high though

Quite glad RoversTV kicked me out in injury time and I couldn't get back in ..... too stressful watching most of that.

V poor performance, but a win. Kaminski saved us when it mattered.

Felt a bit sorry for Gallagher ...looked OK when he came on and was helping us get forward more, but then got marooned alone up front a few minutes later when Nyambe went off.

Gallagher was a joke when he came on 

 Kept putting is under pressure

Don’t apologise, cracked me up at least.

From another mid 30s man who makes songs up that nobody will ever sing.

Word to the wise though, last time I made one up about a potential signing as opposed to a confirmed one, it never happened 😂 

 

“the Mongongu is coming, and every one is running”…. 

Haha. Hopefully he signs and we can break the curse of the over 30s song writers.

All jokes aside he looks decent so hopefully we snap him up

Jake Batty is something else. A future Rovers legend in the making down the left! Great display from the whole team, I think they'll go all the way.

Think both wingbacks looked great. Some classy classy young players .

Then quite a few just a little bit older who look the real deal 

Anybody know what's happened to Whitehall.

Thought he could have made a push for the first team when I watched him a few times last season

Has zefuik signed yet ??

With a name like that he has to have a chant. 

Had a crack myself 

Oh, I don't know why he's leaving
Or where he's gonna go
We offered him a contract
But ryan doesnt want to know
Hes aged 24 years
And he's heading out the door for dayo

Dayo who zeefuik is dayo

24 years just waiting for a chance
To finally sign a player who's name goes with this chant
It's finally happened now were singing in the stands ,  hes dayo

Dayo who zeefuik is dayo

Think quite a few of these lads will go pro. Alot of technical ability as well as being hardworking.

Seems the majority have been here for quite a few years too

Nyambe is good in a back 4 . Infact he can be unplayable sometimes .

But playing a Back 5 is not suited to him . To be fair he's quite poor at it 

However it's suited to the rest of the team . And that cones first. 

I'd rather we keep him. But if we can get a player in who fits our system better (time will tell) then i don't think it's as big an issue him leaving as some people think . 

Would be nice to get someone in and keep nyambe and have abit of competition
